The merchant was startled, and then stared at Minna with a wary gaze: "Who are you?" The villagers who confronted him also watched her run in surprise

Minna clenched her fists tightly, and the anger in her heart surged up one after another: "What do you mean that you Kamecas are going to do something bad and pull the people of the rest of us into the water?!" You are obviously not from Shaonan, what are your intentions in saying such things?! ”

A trace of panic flashed on the merchant's face, and he forced: "I don't know what you're talking about, we are obviously Shaonan merchants."

"If you're from Shaonan, then why are you wearing Kamecca's clothes?" Minna sneered, "The people here have been cut off from foreign countries for a long time, and they can't recognize the costumes of various countries, but you can't fool me!" ”

The merchant's eyes flickered, and the other merchant behind him saw this, and hurriedly said: "We are indeed not Shaonan merchants" His companions all looked at him in surprise, but he was still unhurried: "We are Easters, but we have been doing business in Shaonan, in fact, we can be regarded as Shaonan merchants As for the clothes we wear, this is just our personal hobby, no one said that Easters can't wear clothes from other countries, right?" ”

Minna still looked at them with suspicion, trying to find evidence of their lies, and this time it was Luma who debunked them first: "You are Easters? Which one? As far as I know, the merchants who can do transnational business in Easth usually only go to Shaonan, followed by some on the border with Nuojia in the north, and there are no other than that, the only one who does business in Nuojia and Weisha is the Xiao family firm, but since they withdrew from Nomonka and Monli a few years ago, they no longer set foot in this land The difference tells me, you are actually going from Easte to Encore, but you are passing through here Ai or are you actually people from the Xiao family firm? ”

Encore and Monri are basically in two directions, and this is only half a day's journey away from Monri, and things can't be like this anyway, so those merchants are speechless for a while, and the first merchant who came forward wanted to say, "We are Xiao...", but was stopped by his companion before he finished speaking

Minna sneered, grandpa hates the Cult of Light, he has never been to Fan'a, and he once explicitly forbade people from the Xiao family firm to enter Fan'a to do business, let alone give money to the Holy See, many people have heard of it, not to mention that the current Xiao family business house, even the branch of Anke City is closed, how can he still go to Mengli? Even if the merchant didn't finish the sentence, it was clear that they were pretending to be true

"Who the hell are you?" She asked, "What is the intention of coming here to pretend to be Easter and Shaonan people to do bad things, and deliberately saying such things?!" ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, we're just here for business," the merchant cautiously said nothing, and glanced at the others, suggesting that they leave as soon as possible

Minna stepped out and stood in front of them: "Business? Why do you want to offend the locals when you come here to do business? How can anyone do business like yours? If you do bad things and make your reputation stink, who will come and buy your stuff?! She glanced at the carriage behind them, saw the grain crumbs scattered on the board, and sneered, "Are those oats and doughnuts?" Are you from Nogar? There is already little food there, and you still transport food to places where there is abundant food? There are only two cars? Didn't you inquire in advance about what you need here?! "What a joke! She has seen a lot of businessmen, all countries, and no businessman would be so stupid!

The villagers, who had been watching, also reacted at this time, and the middle-aged man in the lead took a step forward with the hoe handle and asked, "Who are you?" Why come here to do bad things?! The God of Light will punish you! ”

A trace of contempt and disdain flashed on the face of the merchant who came out first, which made Minna even more sure that there was something wrong with them, they were neither Shaonan and Easter merchants, nor did they seem to be humbled by their low status, but the merchants of Kamecca came here under the name of these countries to make waves, and as soon as they spoke, they said that there must be an ulterior conspiracy in how foreigners dragged all the countries into the water!

Seeing that the group was menacing and was pierced by Minna in public, the group of open-minded businessmen rolled their eyes and pulled their necks and said stiffly: "We didn't come to do bad things, obviously you buns deliberately embarrassed us!" While pulling her companions back and leaving quickly, Minna wanted to stop them again, but was stopped by Luma, she asked him with her eyes in confusion, but heard him whisper: "It's not that Is's identity is particularly exposed here," Minna hurriedly retracted in her heart and was about to step out of the ground

But she always stared at the back of those businessmen with some unwillingness and hatred, and said, "Do you want to let them go like this?" Don't you think they're suspicious? ”

"They are acting suspiciously, naturally there are people in Fan'a to deal with us, just passing by, don't meddle with things," Luma replied lightly, but his eyes glanced to the side, Minna followed his gaze, and saw a figure in a monk's robe behind the bushes, turned away, and immediately understood Lumadi's intentions

After all, this is the territory of Van A, although the matter involves East, but it is basically the internal affairs of Van A, and she is now a person from the East Security Agency, so it is not suitable to directly intervene in this matter, so the best way is to let Van A's own temple personnel or the army intervene

The villagers watched the merchants go away, booed a few times, looked back at Minna and Lumadi, and their eyes were much kinder, and the middle-aged man led by him said: "Two guests, thank you for your help just now, have you had lunch?" Come and rest in the village."

Luma smiled and said: "Thank you, we have already eaten just now, we still have to hurry, so we won't bother" Minna said: "Actually, you don't have to thank us, I just heard their nonsense, so I couldn't help but come over Although there are indeed a lot of bad people outside, but not every foreigner is bad, please don't misunderstand that all of us foreigners are bad because of the behavior of those few people"

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, I understand-let's get some water?" The well water in our village is very sweet and much stronger than the river water"

Minna looked at Luma, smiled and accepted the kindness of the villagers, and when she finally left, although she did not stay for an extra meal, she received a lot of delicious fruits

But this lightness did not last long, and in the next half a day, they encountered several incidents of foreigners bullying the commoners of Van A, some of whom were merchants, and some of them were rich and nobles from Wisha or Noga, because they liked the pleasant climate of Van A, and specially moved to live in Van A, and forbade the import of immigrants, so they used all kinds of excuses to "vacation", and some of them also opened a supermarket in the area near Monri to recruit Van A'a civilians to work

Most of these foreigners were Wesa or Noga, there were also a small number of Kamecans, and even Shaonan and Easter were a few, and as the number of them increased, the conflicts between them and the natives gradually increased, and Minna learned from people's private discussions that even the temple had been involved in these turmoil recently, and there were different voices in the Van and A, believing that the country should not continue to be opened, so that its people should not be harmed or polluted

Luma was very concerned about this: "If things get worse and worse, it is likely to affect the relations between the countries and the Brahman, why are these merchants so ignorant? ”

Minna felt a little weird, although most of the conflicts were not serious, but the worst things should not have happened, just like some businessmen deliberately wanted to cause trouble here, for example, a certain worker of Van A took a leave of absence to go home because of his family's illness, but the boss would rather lock up the worker and punish him than let him go back, and the patient died, and the worker's family and people from the same village wanted to ask him for justice, but he ordered his men to beat him; Another example is when a few children walk by a foreign merchant's holiday villa, and because the singing is so loud, the merchant wants his men to arrest the children and lock them up for a whole day before the parents come to the door and call the thugs to beat them out

The most bizarre thing is that when these people came to the door of the Fan'a, they claimed that they were "foreigners" and that they were willing to come as a gift to the Fan'a, saying how good their friendship was with the Holy See, and that the Holy See would never drive all the foreigners away because of the words of a few civilians

It is almost as if they thought of themselves as representatives of all foreigners and wanted to arouse the van-a and the affordability of other countries, and it is said that they also contacted all the foreigners who stayed in the border area of the van-a country for a long time for a "vacation" or started a construction site, asking them to stand with them against the temple and defend the interests of the "foreign nationals". Minna discussed it with Luma, and they both felt that this situation was very problematic, and when they arrived in Monri, they must send the news back to China as soon as possible and ask what to do

After arriving in Monli, they first went to the intelligence station of the Security Agency in Monri - a leather boot shop, the brothers who opened the shop were colleagues, they warmly received Minna and Luma, after hearing about Fan'a, the brother said: "We have already reported it, but there is no response, we are also worried about what to do, you don't know, the current Monli is not very peaceful, the people of the three districts are-for-tat, and they almost fought several times" Minna hurriedly asked what was going on

It turned out that due to the opening of the borders of the Van A, many rich people living in Weisa are yearning for a good environment there, and they do not have the ability to let themselves stay in the Van A "vacation", so they have to find a way to move to a nearby place, and the residents of the Dvana people in the town of Monli have become the preferred area, and the number of residents in the area is not enough, so they have to expand outward, which affects the interests of the other two districts, so every two or three days, they have to go to the Van A district to make a fuss When the conflict is fierce, fortunately, there are monks in the temple here to persuade the people, It didn't cause a big disaster, but recently the monks of the temple heard that they were all infected with strange platinum and couldn't get up, so the people at the intelligence station will have an accident in the next few days

Luma and Minna glanced at each other, and the former frowned, "This is not normal, not normal!" It has been less than two years since the country was opened, and even if there is a conflict, there is no reason for it to be so intense! If this continues, even the relations between countries will be affected! ”

"It's already affected," the younger brother smiled bitterly, "Now there are a lot of Van people are talking about it, I knew that foreigners would be so evil, they wouldn't open the country, and now it's still too late to re-seal the border Last week, the situation was a little more relaxed, a Weisha merchant died inexplicably in his shop, leaving an eight-pointed star pendant next to his body, his clerk said that the Van A'a people did it, but the Van A'a people said that they didn't do it, and now the West's side has sent a letter to the Central Holy See to question"

The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt a headache, and it would be a pity if the gate of the Brahman and A, which was finally opened, was closed because of such a thing, not to mention that there were so many things that people couldn't understand

Luma pondered for a moment and said, "This matter... Let's report it to the country again, explain the seriousness of the matter, and if you have monks you know well, tell them your doubts, don't reveal your true identity, just make them suspicious, and let the people of the temple be more vigilant As for those who behave strangely, you should pay more attention in secret, especially those who usually have a lot of dealings with them, but don't let them find out."

The brothers agreed in unison, and Lu Ma smiled faintly: "Okay, let's end this matter, let's get back to the main topic This time we came to track down the matter of the entertainment oasis, do you know it?" ”

Minna immediately realized that this was the purpose of her visit to Monri, and she almost forgot it, so she touched her head embarrassedly and listened carefully to the introduction of the brothers

Entertainment Oasis rose in the west of Monri, only more than ten years, originally just a hotel built in a small oasis, for passing merchants to settle down and rest, because it is not far from Monli, in fact, business is not good Later, gradually joined the tavern restaurant brothel casino and other facilities, more and more people patronized, and the reputation is getting bigger and bigger, the name of the entertainment oasis is called at this time, its owner saw that the guests who came to the door were men, and it was impossible to have greater growth, It was decided to build another group of tents on a vacant lot next to the oasis, decorated beautifully, and added circus playgrounds, beauty salons and other facilities, specifically for women and children

The brother said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, we have been there twice, and it is really fun, their boss heard that it is a woman, which is very amazing, what is it called... Lady Ziya"

"Lady Ziya?" Minna was stunned, and quickly found the memory of this woman in her mind, how could she forget? Obviously, I once heard my grandfather mention that Ziya had established an oasis of entertainment

"You know?" Luma asked, "By the way, you spent some time in the Entertainment Oasis, did you meet at that time?" ”

Minna shook her head, "I haven't seen her, but I've heard people talk about it" paused, "She used to be my father... Once was the mistress of Count Shaw"
